  • the upper side of the basket 110 is disposed with a cover 50 to cover the upper side of the basket 110 .
  • the cover 50 may fixedly be installed to an upper end of the guide part 20 .
  • the cover 50 may be formed in a panel shape so that it seals the opened upper side of the basket 110 . Therefore, the cover 50 interrupts the inflow of all cooling air inside the storage compartment into the inside of the basket 110 , such that the inside of the basket is maintained at a proper temperature for storing vegetables.
  • the front of the basket 110 is rotatably coupled to the basket door 120 .
  • lower parts of both sides of the basket 110 are formed with hinge shafts 132 and a point spaced upwardly from the hinge shaft 132 is formed with a guide slot 112 .
  • the basket door 120 may be formed with a guide protrusion 131 that is inserted into the guide slot 112 . Therefore, when the basket door 120 rotates based on the hinge shaft 132 , the guide protrusion 131 of the basket door 120 moves along the guide slot 112 of the basket 110 . And, the guide protrusion 131 is engaged with the end of the guide slot 112 , such that a rotational angle of the basket door 120 is limited.
  • the basket door 120 is opened within the range of the predetermined angle. The basket door 120 can open and close the inside of the basket 110 even in the state where the basket 110 is drawn in the storage chamber 11 .
  • the front upper side of the basket door 120 is formed with a handle 133 .
  • the upper side of the handle is provided with the opening and closing button 140 so that the basket door 120 is restricted to the basket 110 . Therefore, when a user grabs the handle 133 and presses the opening and closing button 140 , the restriction of the basket door 120 to the basket 110 is released. At this time, when a user pulls the handle 133 , the basket door 120 opens the front of the basket 110 while rotating to a front side based on the hinge shaft 132 . To the contrary, if a user pulls the handle 133 in the state where the opening and closing button 140 is not pressed, the basket 110 is drawn from the storage compartment 11 .
  • FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing an installation structure of the opening and closing button of the container and
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing an assembled state of the opening and closing button and the container.
  • the front of the basket door 120 is formed with a receiving part 134 so that a part of the opening and closing button 140 can be received.
  • the receiving part 134 may have a collapsed form to a rear side of the basket door 120 .
  • the opening and closing button 140 may be formed a hook 141 that is extended to the rear side of the basket door 120 and is engaged with the front side of the basket 110 .
  • Both sides of the opening and closing button 140 may be provided supporting parts 142 that contacts an outer surface of the basket door 120 when the opening and closing button 140 rotates.
  • the respective supporting parts 142 may be formed in a polygonal plate shape.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show the supporting part 142 in a rectangular plate shape.
  • the rotational shafts 143 that can be rotated in the state where the opening and closing button 140 is connected to the basket door 120 are extended to the respective supporting parts 142 .
  • the rotational shaft is extended to both sides of the opening and closing button 140 and any point spaced from a distal end of the rotational shaft 143 may be formed with the supporting part 142 .
  • the receiving part 134 of the basket door 120 may be formed with a supporting rib 136 so that the rotational shaft 143 is rotatably supported.
  • a pre-determined depth of collapsing part is formed in the supporting rib 136 so that the rotational shaft 143 is fitted therein.
  • a side of the opening and closing button 140 is provided with an elastic member 147 such that elastic force can be applied in a direction where the opening and closing button 140 is engaged with an upper end of the basket 110 .
  • one end of the elastic member 147 is supported to the rotational shaft 143 in the state where it is inserted into the rotational shaft 143 and the other end thereof may be supported to the basket door 120 .
  • a state where the hook 141 is engaged with the upper end of the basket 110 is maintained.
  • a first supporting protrusion 145 is formed to be protruded so that one end of the elastic member 147 can be fitted and supported in the rotational shaft 143 .
  • a second supporting protrusion 137 can be formed so that other end of the elastic member 147 can be fitted and supported in the receiving part 134 of the basket door 120 .
  • the elastic member 147 can be installed only at the rotational shaft of one side or both sides of the opening and closing button 140 .
  • FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a state taken along line I-I of FIG. 4 and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a pressed state of the opening and closing button.
  • the supporting part 142 may be slightly spaced from the outer surface of the basket door 120 before the opening and closing button 140 is pressed (see FIG. 5 ). And, the supporting part 142 of the opening and closing button 140 may contact the outer surface of the basket door 120 when the opening and closing 140 is pressed (see FIG. 6 ).
  • the supporting part 142 in the rectangular shape may be formed so that both sides of the opening and closing button 140 may contact the outer surface of the basket door 120 . Therefore, when the opening and closing button 140 is not pressed, the supporting part 142 is spaced from the outer surface of the receiving part 134 . When the opening and closing button 140 is pressed, the supporting part 142 may contact the outer surface of the receiving part 134 .
  • the rotational shaft 143 rotates and at the same time, is subjected to force in a straight direction near a horizontal direction. At this time, when there is no the supporting part 142 , the rotational shaft 143 is bent in the direction of force. However, since the supporting part 142 contacts the outer surface of the receiving part 134 , even though pressure is applied to the rotational shaft 143 , the bent phenomenon does not occur.
  • the hook 141 of the opening and closing button 140 is engaged with the front side of the basket 110 .
  • the opening and closing button 14 time the opening and closing button 140 is restricted so that the basket door 120 is opened from the basket 110 . Therefore, when the handle 133 is pulled, both the basket 110 and the basket door 120 are drawn from the storage compartment.
  • the opening and closing button 140 rotates at a pre-determined angle based on the rotational shaft 143 . And, the predetermined portion of the supporting part 142 contacts the outer surface of the basket door 120 at a P point. At this time, force F pressing the opening and closing button 140 is transferred to the receiving part 134 , thereby generating repulsive force F. Therefore, since a stress concentrating phenomenon does not occur on the rotational shaft 143 , it can prevent the rotational shaft 143 from being bent by the stress concentration or damaged by the fatigue strength.
  • the basket door 120 rotates based on the hinge shaft 132 to open the front of the basket 110 . Therefore, a user can draw foods from the front of the basket 110 .
  • the hook 141 of the opening and closing button 140 is engaged with the front of the basket 110 .
  • the opening and closing button 140 is restricted so that the basket door 120 is not opened from the basket 110 .
  • the remaining configuration other than the shape of the supporting part 152 is substantially the same as one described above and therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals. The description thereof will be omitted.
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing another example of the opening and closing button according to the present invention.
  • each of the supporting parts 152 may be formed at both sides of the opening and closing button 140 in a disk type or a circular arc type.
  • the rotational shaft 143 may be formed at the center of the respective supporting part 152 .
  • FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing a state taken along line II-II of FIG. 7 .
  • FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing a pressed state of the opening and closing button.
  • the supporting part 12 may always contact the outer surface of the basket door 120 at the P point when the opening button 140 is pressed or is not pressed.
  • the operation of the supporting part is substantially the same as one of the previous embodiments.
